French Dog Names

Dog Names in French

That’s right. The time has come to make your dog the ultimate refined pet and there’s no better way to do so than to choose a French name for him.

It is true that some dog breeds are of French origin (in which case a French name is kind of obligatory), but if yours isn’t, don’t worry. These types of names are beyond breeds, age, sex or colour. They are simply special. So, grab a bottle of champagne, some foie grass and let’s toast for your dog’s new identity.

If you are a Hollywood stars fan, there are plenty of French names that can go well with your dog: you have for example Angeline, Brigitte, Jean-Claude, Paris, Gerard, Julianne or Nicolas. After choosing one of them you will be able to walk around Los Angeles catching everyone’s attention.

There are lots of French names that can relate to famous fiction characters, such as Amelie, Anastacie, D’Artagnan, Romeo, Sylvestre, Aladin, Merlin or Felix. These choices are all nice to give your dog the right presence among the other dogs in the street. Historical characters such as Napoleon, Clovis, Alexandre, Camelot, and Victoire are also perfect if your dog has a strong personality (as all of these represented determined and fearless persons).

If you prefer to name your dog after some features of the nature, you can start practicing pronunciation with these: Etoile (star), Niege (meaning snow), Peche (peach), Pomme (apple), Marrasghe (meaning “the wind”), Soleil (sun), Fleuve (river) or Esmeralda (meaning emerald). These ones are especially beautiful if well pronounced.

An interesting thing about French dog names is that you might be simply saying a piece of food, but it will still sound gorgeous. Check out these options: Capucine, Chablis, Sauvignon, Coco, Caramel, Noisette, or even Café. Some of these can also apply to your pet’s external features such as hair or eyes colour.

Funny French dog names: Bibi, Bébé, Fonzo, Cachou, Koko, Bidou, Cocotte, Lili, Lulu, Yogi or Paco. But if you are looking for meaningful names you might want to read these ones: Jules (meaning young), Guy (meaning fighter, this name should not be read as “guy” in English but as “Gui”), Leroy (meaning “the king”), Louis (meaning “the warrior”), Beau or Belle (beautiful), Bisou (meaning kiss), Jock (meaning precious), Serea (magic) or the absolutely lovable Chamonix (meaning “one of nature’s beauties”).

All these options are completely fit for any type of dog. You have just read about some male and female French dog names. Now you have to take into account that it’s not a matter of breed or pedigree, it only comes to your dog’s character and personality. Whenever your dog hears you or any one in your family calling him by that sweet and soft sound, he will come running towards you, filled with joy and love.
